About the time in Sofia-Grad
Around 1,480,830 people live in Sofia-Grad, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sofia-Grad runs on Europe/Sofia, which puts the city UTC +3 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier Europe/Sofia is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Sofia keeps pointing at Sofia time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
